Kandi Technologies Group said one of its subsidiaries has secured an order to equip 18 heavy-truck battery swap stations connected to CATL. The announcement points to a meaningful step for Kandi’s battery exchange business as it moves into an initial round of commercial deployment.
According to the company, the first batch order marks China Battery Exchange’s entry into commercial operations under its partnership with CATL. The project is focused on heavy-truck battery swap infrastructure in China, a segment that has drawn interest as fleet operators look for faster ways to keep vehicles in service.
The development suggests Kandi is expanding beyond partnership announcements and into equipment delivery tied to real-world station rollout. While the company did not provide the full scope of future deployments in the trimmed release, the 18-station order indicates early traction for its role in supporting battery exchange systems for commercial vehicles.
For investors and industry watchers, the order highlights how battery swapping is being positioned as part of China’s broader commercial EV infrastructure buildout. It also underscores CATL’s growing influence in heavy-truck energy solutions and Kandi’s effort to establish a foothold in that supply chain.
